I had a Nuna (Pipa Lite RX) with my first and the Joie Mint this time and prefer the Mint! My baby always kicked off the sky drape on the Nuna and the Joie Mint honestly feels like similar quality to me (I have the maple that comes with the nutmeg). Strollers and convertible car seats are worth spending extra money on in my opinion, infant seats are outgrown too quickly to justify it to me. They all go through the same safety testing.

We loved our Nuna Pipa Lite RX and will be using it for baby number 2. I think they have now replaced that model with the Aire.

Yes the Nuna pippa lite rX can be used in ubers/cars without a base. You can then clip it to many travel strollers with an adapter. Your kid will grow out of it by 2 though.

What about Nunas? We had the pipa lite and you don't need the base if you were to take it into another car. It used the seatbelt to strap it in. I also have a used uppababay that sold locks that made the nuna fit into the stroller. So idk i havent looked in a while but maybe they make a bigger version?

We got the nuna mixx travel system, the Pipa Lite seat clicks into the stroller if you need it for quick trips into the shop when baby sleeps, but it's very highly rated for safety and both of our babies have enjoyed sitting/sleeping in it.

This was me! I had a Pipa Lite and a Mixx and was very happy with them, no bassinet needed. I will say that I wish I had gone for a regular Pipa instead of Lite - the lite doesnt have the full sunshade, which I wanted, and it cannot be used without a base. Things to consider!

This was >6 years ago, so take it for what it is. We had the Pipa Lite, our cousin had the KeyFit. When we flew to go visit, we borrowed it bc by this time her cousin was in a convertible. The KeyFit was HEAVY compared to the Pipa. Made us miss our Pipa sooo much

We had a pipa lite and he was using it up too 6 months but switched him to a convertible. He probably still would fit into it now he’s almost 11 months now.
